The starter fuse...is that one of those huge fuses in the box? because thats the first place i looked but i only pulled some relays out because i know the starter relay is on that box, im pretty sure its the center of the 3 big ones. any way to check those? if it helps any my battery has died probably 3 times in the past few months because my ac clutch wont disengage....but thats another problem all together.


oh and another thing before it wouldnt start at all i was parked in a parking lot and it wouldnt start but i fiddled around with **** in the fuse box and i got it to start, then drove it home and now it hasnt started since.

Get a jump.

Sounds like your battery is no good. If you are hearing a click it just doesn't have enough juice to fire up your car.

Fuel pressure like airman said would have nothing to do with your starter not turning the engine over.

OK that will come next. but how does this explain why it wouldnt start for a while then magically started and now wont start again? or do batteries do weird stuff when they are shot?

I've had a dead battery that wouldn't start my Titan all day, next day it fired on the first start. For whatever reason it had enough power that one time to fire it up.

Are your terminals corroded? What about the battery wire?

batteries can build back a slight charge, u just got lucky enough to fire up, but that was probably the batteries last breath...if its not your battery id be surprised

yea...about 2 months ago i replaced the Air Conditioning control unit(little black bocks with lots of wires going into it inside the passenger front fender) and since then my AC wont turn off so i have to unplug the compressor. anyway i think shortly after i did that my - battery terminal started getting majorly corroded... the battery still has enough power to turn on all the electronics AND the battery guage in the dash is right in the center of where it should be. does anyone know if the predator tuner might have a built in battery volt meter? my volt meter is at my parents house.
